A atual política educacional brasileira consignada no Plano de Desenvolvimento da Educação: uma concepção fundamentada na pedagogia do capital

Abstract

In this article, we analyze the limits and implications of the current Brazilian educational policy summarized in the Development Plan for Education - PDE, an action set up in Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva’s second term. In the light of Marxist theoretical perspective, we are looking to demonstrate that the World Bank succeeded making effective its policy of Education for All in the countries of which on the periphery of capitalism, becomes the tool that can provide these nations with the illusion of overcoming social inequalities and the "sustainable development" in the so called "globalized world". In the same sense, the conception of education that guides the PDE, points out, among other things, to the progressive dilution of state responsibility towards public education and transfer it to a "broader social effort." Thus, the PDE in line with the Plan of Education for All Goals Commitment represents the most comprehensive prescription for the adequacy of the Brazilian educational policy to the interests of big capital in structural crisis.
